I can't see the sensors in most situations: it is too dim to discern them. And when it is bright enough like outside I, personally, look at the screen and cannot see them. Of course if you make a point in looking at them you will notice. But then you are nitpicking...
The sensors point I might be able to see bothering some people. But the microphone holes? Literally, and I now mean it literally and not figuratively, has any normal person looked at them twice. I bet if we go out polling and ask people where the microphone is on one's phone they couldn't say.
Also me feeling better for my purchase? What are you, ten? I personally don't give a flying fuck about design on a smartphone if it has function over form. 2 sensors that are nearly transparent on the upper bezel? Make so much more difference. So so much. While the rest of the review was good I cannot see the reason for such comments as they were not present in S7 review or any other review I can remember him putting out. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder so that's why those were my 10 cents to his 2 cents. We could argue about aesthetics all day and get nowhere.
